I Love Little Watermelon
Chapter 721 All Dead
But on second thought, it made sense. After all, being a judge in the Underworld required seniority. Without a certain level of experience, it definitely wouldn't work.
Yuan Mu Ye sighed helplessly and said, "Then what can I do? There are evil spirits everywhere. If they really set their sights on me, they'll find me even if I run to the ends of the earth."
He really had no solution to this.
Unless he could let those evil spirits know he was already dead.
"That's why I rushed here to remind you. I don't want to see you killed by evil spirits," the woman said, looking at Yuan Mu Ye with a calm expression.
Yuan Mu Ye curled his lips, not knowing what to say for a moment.
After a long while, he finally said, "Alright, I understand. If there's nothing else, you can go back."
Hearing this, the woman's face immediately changed, clearly displeased. After all, she had come all this way, and Yuan Mu Ye hadn't even said a kind word, let alone thanked her.
The woman sighed and said in a dissatisfied tone, "It seems that in your eyes, I'm just a stranger. You don't even have the time to chat with me."
Yuan Mu Ye was speechless. He was already busy enough, so how could he have time to chat?
"I have things to deal with right now, and the situation is very troublesome. You can't possibly not know that, right?" Yuan Mu Ye said bluntly.
Hearing this, the woman was momentarily at a loss for words. She wouldn't say she knew everything about Yuan Mu Ye's situation, but she did know some things.
The woman sighed softly and said, "Alright, then I'll go back first. Be careful!"
After speaking, the woman disappeared directly in front of Yuan Mu Ye.
Yuan Mu Ye looked at the endless night sky, not knowing what he was thinking. After a long while, he finally retracted his gaze and returned to the cellar.
However, to his surprise, Feng Ge had already taken care of the matter.
Those people didn't know when they had left. Only the boss and Feng Ge were left.
Yuan Mu Ye looked at the empty cellar and asked Feng Ge, "Resolved?"
He felt it was a bit unbelievable that Feng Ge could resolve this matter in such a short amount of time.
If it were him, he wouldn't necessarily be able to resolve it.
Feng Ge nodded with an indifferent expression and said with a smile, "Brother Yuan, I told you I could resolve this matter. Alright, we can go back and rest."
If he just left like this, Yuan Mu Ye would definitely be thinking about this matter, because he wanted to know how Feng Ge had resolved it.
Yuan Mu Ye subconsciously glanced at the boss. The boss's eyes were indifferent, and he didn't say anything, which made him even more curious. What exactly had happened just now?
"Boss, can I ask you a question?" Yuan Mu Ye asked tentatively.
The boss seemed to have already anticipated that he would ask why, and said indifferently, "The trouble has already been resolved. Leave if you're going to leave."
The implication was that Yuan Mu Ye shouldn't be nosy.
Yuan Mu Ye curled his lips and wanted to say something, but in the end, he swallowed the words back down.
Since this matter had already been resolved, then he really didn't need to continue dwelling on it. After all, it didn't have much to do with him. What he needed to do now was to hurry to Jile Cliff!
Yuan Mu Ye looked at Feng Ge and left directly.
Feng Ge immediately followed him out.
The two walked one after the other, the atmosphere a little strange. Yuan Mu Ye originally wanted to ask something, but in the end, he decided against it. After all, the matter was already over, and it wouldn't make any difference if he continued to ask.
Back at the inn, it was as peaceful as if nothing had happened.
"Feng Ge, did those people leave safely?" Yuan Mu Ye asked as he took off his coat.
Feng Ge didn't hesitate at all and nodded. "Brother Yuan, don't worry, those people will be fine."
Seeing him so certain, Yuan Mu Ye was still a little doubtful, but he didn't press the issue.
This matter was temporarily over.
The next morning, just as dawn was breaking, Yuan Mu Ye prepared to leave the inn.
But what he didn't expect was that after he and Feng Ge left the inn and hadn't walked far, he saw a row of corpses hanging in the woods not far away.
Although Yuan Mu Ye didn't see the faces of those corpses clearly, a bad premonition welled up in his heart.
No one knew when those corpses had been hung there, but Yuan Mu Ye was certain that they weren't there when they had arrived yesterday.
So, it could be roughly deduced that they were hung up last night.
Yuan Mu Ye took a closer look, and his expression immediately changed drastically, because these corpses were all the people who had been harmed by the boss last night.
Didn't Feng Ge say that they would be fine?
Now they were all dead.
Yuan Mu Ye looked at Feng Ge, wanting to hear his explanation.
But Feng Ge didn't seem to have any intention of explaining, and simply said, "It's all fate."
"Didn't you say last night that they would be fine? How did they die here?"
Facing Yuan Mu Ye's questioning, Feng Ge remained expressionless and responded, "Last night, the boss promised me that he wouldn't kill them. As for why they died here, I don't know."
The boss promised Feng Ge?
What was this all about? Besides, why would the boss promise Feng Ge?
Could it be that they had made some kind of deal between them?
Thinking of this, Yuan Mu Ye asked again, "Feng Ge, tell me honestly, what happened between you and the boss?"
"Nothing."
Feng Ge only said this one sentence, not a single word more, clearly not wanting to explain this matter.
Yuan Mu Ye suddenly found the young man in front of him a little scary.
"Brother Yuan, our top priority is to hurry to Jile Cliff. As for other matters, I advise you not to spend too much energy on them," Feng Ge reminded Yuan Mu Ye.
Yuan Mu Ye looked at Feng Ge for a long time without speaking, and finally walked away directly.
In the current situation, what could he do?
He certainly wouldn't stay here to investigate the murderer, so this matter could only pass by in a muddled way.
Yuan Mu Ye originally thought that he and the boss would never meet again in this lifetime, but he didn't expect them to meet again so soon.
Under Feng Ge's guidance, Yuan Mu Ye arrived at Jile Cliff at nightfall.
If it weren't for Ling Bo Wei Bu, Yuan Mu Ye wouldn't be able to get there in three days even if he drove.
Arriving at the bottom of Jile Cliff, Yuan Mu Ye originally wanted to go straight in, because he couldn't wait to know some things.
"Brother Yuan, we can't go in now."
Feng Ge's words were like a bucket of cold water poured on Yuan Mu Ye, leaving Yuan Mu Ye a little dumbfounded.
